Bluetooth low energy or BLE is ideal for applications such as sensors, remote controls, smart watches, health measurement apps, and fitness tracking apps to name just a few use cases. Devices such as Fitbit wristbands pair with your phone using Bluetooth LE to track your body's exercise and sleep patterns.
Bluetooth LE is a technology built in to devices that uses far less power than standard Bluetooth connections that can last for "years" without needing battery replacement or recharge. Rather than a persistent connection, BLE uses short bursts of data and powers itself off again when finished sending the data. So it's low energy.
The Bluetooth LE on your device can be used to pinpoint your precise location. There are BLE devices to track your wandering pets, your lost keys, and many more on the way.
How many use cases you can think of for creating new services or apps for Bluetooth LE? Make your own list or share them in the comments area.
